Including pdf files

    My upload directory contains a number of pdf files in nested subdirectories which are linked from within the site. The plugin does not export these, despite the fact that there are in-site links.
    I know where the files are located, but it seems impractical and brittle to add them by hand to the links dialogue. Is there a setting that allows to select the file types that will be considered or is there a way to make Simply Static recognize the files or file types in the media gallery?

    The site is internal, but a hand-crafted version previously exported is here: Ontoserver – Fast Interoperable Terminology Server (csiro.au)

    Version stats:
    Free:?3.1.7.4
    Pro:?1.5.2
    WP: 6.6.1

    Vielen Dank,

    MfG aus Brisbane,

    J?rn Guy Sü?

    Hey @joernguysuesscsiro,

    thanks for your report.

    Simply Static will include all kinds of files (including PDFs) automatically as long as they are linked from your website; no special settings or configurations are required.

    This mostly happens because of two things:

    1. Some unsupported plugin is used to embed these files and they use non-valid HTML markup (If so, try it with a plain link instead)
    2. They are referenced with a relative path instead of the full URL (and thus get skipped because Simply Static can’t locate them).
